JAKARTA - secretly President Jokowi's youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, is starting to be interested in politics. Will the young entrepreneur follow in the footsteps of his father and brother, Gibran Rakabuming, who chose PDIP?

The name Kaesang Pangarep, the youngest child of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo, has been not far from the business world. Before working in the world of football, Kaesang had become a reference for novice investors in choosing prospective stocks.

This young man who owns a myriad of businesses often provides capital market investment education through his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Kaesang started his career as a liar who later received the spotlight because he was a son of a presidential candidate. The blog drew controversy for writing about the experience of accidentally eating pork in Singapore, which then received attention due to the hot state of the 2014 Presidential Election and declared the taste of pork to be better than goats.

Kaesang is also active in business and social media. Kaesang's business has now targeted several culinary businesses including Sang Pisang, Sang Java, Madhang Application, catfish business, Coffee Livestock, and most recently Mangkokku collaborated with MasterChef judge Arnold.

Now Kaesang has openly intended to enter politics. He followed in the footsteps of Gibran and his brother-in-law, Bobby Nasution, who is now the mayor of Medan.

Gibran, who was also a businessman, said that Kaesang himself conveyed this wish in front of himself and his father, Jokowi, when he returned to Surakarta.

"What we talked about at the dining table was Kaesang. I was also surprised, he openly told us there was an interest in politics," said Gibran in Surakarta, Central Java, Tuesday, January 24, quoted from Antara.

However, he does not yet know whether Kaesang will start taking part in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections (Pilkada).

"I don't know, I just heard yesterday. Mr. [Jokowi] is also surprised. Usually, I never talk about it, this is an assessment first," continued Gibran, who used to hate politics.

Gibran said that Kaesang's interest was because he wanted to contribute to the region. Moreover, since the last few years, Jokowi's youngest son has also been directly involved in managing the Persis Surakarta Football Club.

"If I look at it, for example Persis, it's Kaesang who worked hard. PSSI's (Extraordinary Congress) KLB is also intense there. If I look at it, it's capable, young people, but learning quickly," he praised Kaesang.

Meanwhile, regarding the political party that Kaesang wanted to participate in, Gibran admitted that he did not know about it. "Later, let Kaesang decide," he added.

For information, Gibran and Jokowi are PDI-P cadres. Even the Chairperson of the PDI-P, Megawati Soekarnoputri, called Jokowi a party official.

Asked about the issue of political dynasties that might emerge, Gibran said that contestation in politics is a competition.

"You can win, you can lose. yesterday Kaesang only made a wish, if you are serious about asking Kaesang yourself," he said.
